A new and better FBS thread

[NI4NI]

Lol bowl games are not the point of going fbs. More good football is the point. As fbs, our regular season will be better than 90% of the games we play in the fcs.

My point was to make a statement that if we are going to be held as FCS captives, we're going to do it our way by our terms. Might garner the attention needed to get a reconsideration?

Here’s the bottom 5 of MVFC:
155 Southern Illinois AA = 51.63
170 Youngstown State AA = 48.98
182 Northern Iowa AA = 47.10
208 Indiana State AA = 41.92
224 Murray State AA = 39.56

Here’s the bottom 5 of CUSA:
146 Louisiana Tech A = 53.45
158 UTEP A = 51.40
169 New Mexico State A = 49.37
174 Middle Tennessee A = 48.61
203 Kennesaw State A = 42.47

Which MVFC teams would you put money on to beat which CUSA teams?

Kennesaw just beat Liberty last night… I don’t know that I’d take anyone right now…

That was fun to watch 0-6 beat 6-0!

Only saw highlights. Agree with the posters here that Tue/Wed/Thu games are not the reason to go. Better competition week in week out and higher profile is the reason to go. That, and a *chance* (albeit slim) at a spot at the table…

Kennesaw beating Liberty says enough about the top of that league. Which is why I brought up NDSU, SDSU, USD...hell throw UND in there. So the bottom half of the leagues are equitable. Throw in the weekday games and a half empty fargodome....enjoy.

Like I said in a different comment, and like 26 is saying, no argument here that games on T, W, and Th are nothing to get me excited about. I’d be willing to bet that if we move to an FBS conference, to your point, we would be competitive in every Conference game, with maybe a lopsided victory or 2, and it would inject some excitement into our fanbase for at least a few years while we try to win the conference.

You make this move because we’ve proven that it’s where our FB program deserves to be.

Yeah we keep saying this over and over but at some point......an outsider (conference) is going to have to say it.

Yeah of course, we can’t just make a conference invite us. But we have people who are saying a move up to G6 only makes sense if it’s the “right” conference… I’m not sure I agree.

How many years do we have to run through the other Valley teams like crap through a goose before someone somewhere sees the value this program brings to ANY conference? Obviously the big boys aren't ever going to give us a look, but we'd be right in the mix of any g5 conference.

It's quite obvious it has nothing to do with football.

The quality of the program, the quality of the school, the quality of the facilities is not an issue with any of the conferences. They know and respect the Bison and would be happy to have them in the conference. It's been a geography problem. The bring enough the geography issue can be overcome and they bring a ton of value to any conference. I talk to enough people in college administration through various activities to know they are respected. My favorite was the Director of Operations for the Notre Dame football team. He was very high on the Bison. They are a known, positive brand in college athletics.
